Funding Focus: National Endowment for the Humanities
NEH is an independent grant-making agency of the U.S. government dedicated to supporting research, education, preservation, and public programs in the humanities. This is an excellent funding source for CLA faculty. CLA has been very successful in securing NEH grant awards and has been encouraged by NEH representatives to increase applications to the agency due to the competitiveness of those proposals. The GFS Team is dedicated to assisting faculty in preparing applications.
